It seems that I’ve written a decent amount about getting fit or getting healthy over the past couple years. Sometimes I stick with it and give regular updates, other times not so much. Whether that’s procrastination or a problem with motivation, I’m not sure.

As Van Halen once put it so elegantly, here I go again. With a little added pressure from some friends at work and some encouragement from some friends not at work, I’m hoping that it’s going to stick this time around.

And just how am I going to make some healthy changes in my life? Here’s a list. Feel free to call me out if I’m straying from this list around you.

• Eating more fruits and vegetables (with help from spud.com)
• Taking it easy on the drinking (not that this is a problem most of the time)
• Taking antioxidants and/or daily vitamins
• Drinking more water
• Lifting weights 3 times a week
• Doing cardio 3 times a week
• Eating less red meat and more fish
• Eating smaller meals and doing so more often

I’m really looking forward to being more fit, having more energy, and having a better overall outlook on life. Updates about gym routines, exercises, progress, and goals will be coming in the future.
